Examines Donald Trump’s ascendancy and elective allure from the perspectives of social, political, and evolutionary psychology as well as neuroscience and biopsychology

Considers how voting behavior and political choices are often based on emotions rather than on a rational, carefully considered decision-making process
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2016年美国大选激励了上百万美国民众，也引起了上百万美国民众内心的恐慌。本书为读者解读了川普的魅力所在，他的成功与许多美国人的希望和恐惧存在怎样的关系，并对当今民主系统存在的局限性提出了质疑。
本书从社会、政治、进化心理学和神经科学和生物心理学的角度出发，研究了川普的崛起和当选，促使读者重新思考美国的选举政治和政治投票。本书还指出，选举行为和政治选择往往建立在情感之上，而不是理性、审慎的决策过程之上。（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：“2016年总统大选中，川普当选令众多政治权威感到意外——本书并非对此事件的简单解释，而是对其在领导力的社会科学层面找到了一个令人信服的解释。许多人都对川普的胜利感到震惊，但是那些基于公正、翔实的信息对历任总统进行深入研究分析的专家可不这么看。任何对川普的胜利感到困惑、震惊或甚至害怕的人都能从本书中学到很多。”——Donelson R. Forsyth，里士满大学领导力研究学院
“Mari Fitzduff在加深我们对利用神经科学促进和平的认识和理解方面是一位先锋人物。美国和欧洲的近况，包括川普的崛起、英国脱欧、欧盟可能发生的分裂等都表明，以创新的方式应对这样的挑战是非常重要的。这部突破性的文集对那些希望理解如何控制对全球健康发展造成影响的非理性的危险力量的读者来说是一部非常及时而宝贵的作品。”——Tom Woodhouse，英国布拉德福德大学和平研究和冲突解决荣誉教授
"Rejecting easy explanations for an event that took most political pundits by surprise―the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president in 2016―Why Irrational Politics Appeals searches for and finds a compelling explanation for Trump’s success in the social science of leadership. Many were shocked by Mr. Trump’s victory, but not the experts who offer one prescient insight after another in an even-handed, but imminently well-informed, analysis of a political outcome that left so many others befuddled. Anyone who is bewildered―astounded, stunned, or even frightened―by Mr. Trump’s rise to political fame has much to learn from this book’s insights." (Donelson R. Forsyth, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, University of Richmond)
"American politics has arguably been turned on its head with the controversial election of Donald Trump. How prescient Dr. Fitzduff’s book has thus become―comprised of a collection of chapters contributed by a wonderfully diverse group of international experts and academics―who examine in an unvarnished and frank exposition of how this can be, as well as what may result. This volume is a wonderful mix of politics and political science, sociology, psychology, history, ideology, business, media, society, and community, blended with a variety of perspectives. It is a must-read regardless of political orientation, for those seeking to gain a better understanding of the current weltbild of American politics, if not society." (Dr. Chris Stout, Managing Director, Center for Global Initiatives)
"Mari Fitzduff is a pioneer in the challenge to deepen our knowledge and understanding of using neuroscience for peacebuilding. Recent developments in the USA and in Europe, with the rise of Trumpism, Brexit, and the possible fragmentation of the EU, show how important it is to engage creatively with the challenge. This groundbreaking collection is an invaluable and timely resource for all who wish to understand how to navigate the dangerous forces of irrationality which threaten global well-being." (Tom Woodhouse, Emeritus Professor, Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution, University of Bradford, UK)
